It's not. It's just a WIN WIN for the company and the individual.

But this is what the US is encouraging with its immigration policy so you reap what you sow.

Another thing could be that you come collecting US degrees is a WIN for US. Maybe degrees in Australia or your birth country weren't good enough for you (or you weren't good enough for them). Either way that US was able to have you for education and jobs for many years after that is win in my book.

I dont completely agree with you. Honestly, appears like an excuse to never change the USCIS, I have come peace with it, that it never will.

By all means they should change but I hope not to the interest of very vocal tech minority, who are already elite in their own counties, and to the detriment of other deserving groups.

Imagine the US parents paying $$ to get their kids into an elite kindergarten in the hopes of some day sending their kid to an Ivy League.... Only to have their spot taken by some shmuck from Australia who has never previously set foot in the US get a free ride for a $200k education.... you're going to convince them that its a WIN for America!
